Bio
Genie S.
Fiona is an amazing leader. Having worked as a billing manager certainly wasn't an easy position, not only she had always managed to achieve her own target and she was always there for the team. Her clients and candidates are always pleased with her professional advice and efficient service. She is an inspirational role model and it was an absolute pleasure working with her!

Fiona was my manager at Elite Associates. I worked with her for approximately a year and I learned a lot from her. Not only in a professional way also on a personal level. She is a very understanding, open, sociable and flexible person. I think that is also why she is a good manager. She will always have a 'listening ear' for you ,no matter how busy she is. She is strong in communicating with the clients as well as candidates and she builds a real relationship with both. I hope to see and work with Fiona again in the future.
